The trial of a Sioux City man accused of killing his roommate has been continued four months.
39-year-old Abdiqadar Sharif had been set to go on trial next Tuesday.
Sharif is charged with second-degree murder in the October 28th slaying of 40-year-old Guled Nur.
Woodbury County court records say the defense and prosecution asked for more time to prepare for the trial, so a judge has set a new starting date of July 30th.
Prosecutors say Sharif stabbed and kicked Nur after an altercation broke out at their apartment.
